The first party games will come and blow them out of the water. Probably blow PC games put of the water too like the base PS4 did in 2017-2019. You couldn't find a game back then on PC that could significantly match them even with much higher tech than the base PS4. Naughty Dog, Kojima's crowd and Santa's Monica, sucker punch and the rest are wizards and can make miracles happen on these underpowered systems. 

Eww, can't agree to that.  Consoles have never been ahead of PC.  PC is always way ahead, even the ps4.  

Nah, there was a short period there for a while when PC was lagging a bit. All there was that looked better was Star wars Battle Front among a few others. Uncharted 4 and Horizon were blowing all else away. Not in terms of technical stuff but in terms of what you were looking at on screen. Even The Last of us 2 gave PC a run for it's money. Then the 2080 dropped and 3080, then 4080 and PC took a huge lead again but in that late stage 1080, 8th gen was holding up. Plenty of PC gamers minds were blown across the forums I was using by how well ps4 was doing and all there was on PC was unreleased glorified tech demos like Star Citizen. And yes, the gap has dramatically sized up again as it was before mid to late 8th gen.

Ya shouldn't. The CCP has their hand in everything and will surely be using the 50 cent army to promote this as with all else. 



One thing's for sure, the East doesn't give a damn about the "modern audience" that the West loves to constantly chase

You joke but they aren't the nicest Government. I've spotted the ten cent army out on this one and it's really obvious, especially on small ler Youtubers. They're a totalitarian regime wanting to extend their influence globally and get rid of your free (kinda free) way of life. They want control over their citizens every thought and want to have that on a global scale. Infiltrating culture through media is one way to go about that.

Meh, not really.  Bare in mind those PC games were true 1080p and 60 fps.  Not upscaled 1080p and 30 fps.  PC has always been ahead.  Witcher 3 on PC is quite stunning.  

I mean the ps4 is roughly similar to a 750 ti...  a 1080 is literally 500% more powerful.  PC has always crushed consoles, including Uncharted.

Hell a 980 smokes a ps4.

Yep, playing it now. Enjoying it so far, no major techincal issues except for the stutterimg when entering new locations. I had more technical issues in elden ring

Nice one. Would you say the reviews are bogus? Whata ya thinkbof the aggregate score compared to your time so far?

Wouldn't say it's bogus, I'm only 4 hours in so maybe there's more issues later on but so far it's acceptable. Areas are also quite small between bosses, I must have fought about 7 bosses so far I think. They were quite fun.

Not to mention when there is a fuss they post an 8 by default to appease both sides. The 8 could mean a 1 or a 10 or anything in between and doesn't reflect the written review. 

Yes, it's far more like GoW/DMC. The only thing I found souls like was the travel menu. Those bonfires aren't a staple of souls and action games have been doing things like that well before souls. Souls borrowed much from what came before too, metroidvania for example. Everything would be a souls like if you took those subtle elements and isolated them. Soulsborne is a collection of very specific gamep design choices. It's far more related to GoW from what I can see. 

Also, you fell for the trap. DEI is critical race theory rebranded, it should be called what it is, a racist and xenophobic load of shit that pits people against each other based on their differences and parades itself as attempting to do the opposite all to steer the narrative away from true issues like classism. Most people knew this, now they call it DEI and seen in a new less radical light. 

Yeah, at this point the numbers game is also pointless, because they gave 2077 a 9/10, despite it being in worse shape upon it's release, and Wukong isn't as bad as 2077 was, so the bias ends up showing to the public as being non-trustworthy.

Honestly, whenever I play DMC/Bayo, I'm expecting 5-6 foes on screen, a typical boss battle (most video game boss battles involve you fighting one giant foe, unless it's an MMO with creep/trash mobs for you to kill). From what I've seen in the hour of gameplay it's still around 1-3 foes, and in confined areas (which suits the dodgeroll mechanic being limited, forcing you to be tactful with how and when you roll in said confined spaces). 

Yeah I get the bonfire part, but save states have been a thing in games since forever ago, but Souls pioneered the bonfire concept, and that's what we're seeing with Wukong, instead of your typical *open menu, save game* kind of system. There are so many ways to save a video game, but having to light a bonfire or an incense stick feels too similar to one another, especially with it's inspirations (there could have been more insane DMC combo madness and flurrying involved, but the combat is more tactful and precise instead). 

DEI are proxy companies employed by other companies in attempts to cause diversion and increase profits/control in other areas. I know you see it as critical race theory, but it is so much more than that (you need to go back at least 50 years of history to see how this ended up snowballing to the current era).

I know it is racist, since the entire theory is based around racial separation/segregation, in an attempt to set up a new hierarchy, but the common people are not having it, which is why we're starting to see people clapping back and waking up to these proxy companies seeping into every facet of media (games, comics, films, tv shows, books, even college/university degrees). I know it's paraded by a group of new radical activists, but the new age don't know how to actually do real activisim that can lead to change, instead they rely on brutish tactics and subterfuge that has no real cause. 



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

I can't go back in time to show you but I basically seen side by sides of the best the PC was doing at the time on my mates beastly rig and at the time ps4 was visually looking better. I don't care about numbers and tech if it doesn't add up to something beautiful on screen and those games looked better even if the PCs were more powerful. I had so many PC gamers agree with me at the time. The talent at Sony first party simply beat the tech. It doesn't matter how powerful a PC is if the games on it aren't looking impressive and at the time they weren't, Sony first party games were the leading edge in graphics. It was a fluke but now that games are going to PC and the PC is getting more focus by devs like how Cyberpunk and Wu Kong were built for PC first, yes it's back to the old days where PC suits on console.

You do know that the last of us 2 was considered the best looking game of all time by the masses. Didn't have a PC port. Just pure talent squeezing out the most of inferior hardware. We can't go back in time to settle this so let's just agree to disagree cause there's no way I'm agreeing that PC had significantly better looking games in that time period, it simply didn't.

Most certainly we will have to agree to disagree.
